Voltmeter question
I just installed my brand new gauge cluster with tach that I ordered through Scott’s Super Trucks in Alberta. Everything works fine except the voltmeter no longer moves. It just stays completely in the middle. My old one used to move quite a bit one way or the other, pending. Any thoughts as to why?

Re: Voltmeter question
Did you check the two fuses (5 amp?) at the radiator support area?

Re: Voltmeter question
I can never find those little guys in auto parts stores, anytime I've purchased some, they are too long for the rubber bulb to close and seal. Anyone have a part number, or link?

Re: Voltmeter question
I used to get the variety pack too, still not short enough to close properly in my case.
Never really looked into much until now, isn't that always the way?

Re: Voltmeter question
Maybe try an RV outlet? Most RV's (motorhomes, trailers, popups, etc.) use little fuses.
